Committed to Floral Sustainability from Farm to Shopper
Post-Consumer Recycled Content Floral Packaging with EvolveFlex™
At Sprouts, we’re dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint. That’s why we’ve transitioned our floral packaging to EvolveFlex™, a groundbreaking film made from up to 90% recycled post-consumer plastics. By choosing EvolveFlex™ for our floral sleeves, we're significantly reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy. This move helps us divert plastics from landfills, ensuring that every bouquet you buy is packaged sustainably.
Rapid-Growing Bamboo Plant Pots
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our potted plants, which now come in bamboo containers. Bamboo is a renewable resource, growing rapidly and requiring minimal resources. By switching to bamboo pots, we are reducing our reliance on traditional materials that may be less earth-friendly, ensuring that our potted plants are as kind to the planet as they are beautiful.
Socially Responsible Sourcing
We source from global and local farms that are committed to best practices and protocols that contribute to a sustainable, equitable and humane supply chain. This guarantees that our products are not only good for the environment but also produced under fair and ethical conditions.
Our Sustainability Story: Plants & Flowers
Sustainable Floral Practices
Our flowers are sourced from farms committed to sustainability. Here’s how they contribute to a greener planet:
- Environmental Initiatives: Implementing solar panel networks, rainwater collection systems, and bio-controllers to minimize environmental impact.
- Recycling & Waste Reduction: Converting disposable plastic from greenhouses into structural components and using recycled materials for floral sleeves and buckets.
- Project Gigaton: Participating in efforts to reduce, avoid, or sequester 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Wildlife Protection: Initiatives aimed at protecting local wildlife are part of broader environmental efforts.
- Community Support & Employment: Providing job opportunities to underserved populations and flexible scheduling for single mothers and running intensive university internship programs.
Sustainable Plant Growing Practices
We partner with local and national farms that prioritize sustainability in every step of plant production. Here are the key criteria for sustainably grown plants:
- Water Usage: Efficient water reclamation and recycling systems ensure minimal impact on local water resources.
- Energy Usage: Utilizing renewable energy sources and energy-efficient practices to reduce carbon footprint.
- Recycling: Comprehensive recycling programs to minimize waste and promote the reuse of materials.
- Biological Controls: Implementing natural pest control methods to reduce chemical use and promote a healthier ecosystem.
